In a publishing first for the brand, ‘The Diary of Dennis the Menace’ will arrive in November. This features "rib-tickling tales of life in Beanotown" told in Dennis' own words (with the help of his canine friend Gnasher).

A Bash Street Joke Book will also arrive in November.

And next year, further fiction titles, an official sticker book, a search-and-find book and an official guide will hit book shelves.

The Beano magazine celebrates its 75th anniversary this year.
